Description

These Fudgy Flourless Chocolate Cake Cookies combine the rich, intense flavor of cocoa with a chewy, fudgy texture that melts in your mouth. Made without any flour, these cookies are a perfect treat for gluten-free dessert lovers looking for a simple, quick, and indulgent recipe.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar until well combined, ensuring the mixture is smooth and even.
  2. Add the Egg Whites: Slowly add the egg whites to the dry mixture while stirring continuously. Mix until the egg whites are fully absorbed and the batter thickens and becomes sticky; this process may take a few minutes to achieve the proper texture.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure it reaches the right baking temperature for the cookies.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the batter and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading while baking.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, watching for the cookies to puff up and develop a shiny, crackled surface indicating they are done.
  7. Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set properly for that perfect fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to whisk the cocoa powder and powdered sugar thoroughly to avoid clumps in the batter.
  • Use fresh egg whites for better consistency and volume in the batter.
  • Don’t overbake; cookies should be soft in the center when removed from the oven.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them moist and fudgy for up to 3 days.
  • For added flavor, consider sprinkling a small pinch of sea salt on top before baking.
